~By Jay Kay ~

~By Kurt Huber ~
Conscience is the authentic voice of God to you.
~By Rutherford B. Hayes ~

~By Howard Keel ~
I started writing more with my voice in mind.
~By Lucinda Williams ~

~By Blair Underwood ~
My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.
~By Meryl Streep ~
Singing was my first love and I never even considered it after I started acting, but now I'm bringing it back into my life. I trained from the ages of 11 to 17.

~By Amanda Seyfried ~

~By Carroll O'Connor ~
I then realized that I could never be satisfied again with the mere natural charm of my voice, that I had to constantly paint when singing, melting all the colors, expressing reds and blacks that had to be less primary but bursting with subtly colored combinations.
~By Placido Domingo ~
Yes, it must be something that goes very well with my voice, let's say something that I understand that this would be good communication with the others, and I don't pretend for instance, to look for music that would be something that doesn't go with my personality.
~By Victoria de los Angeles ~
They sent me the script, asking me to play the part of a general. I have never played the part of an authority figure. I've never thought of myself that way. I was uncomfortable with it, but I worked at it and knew I had a guttural voice for a general.
~By Mark Goddard ~
If a voice is just too nice, without an edge, it kinda all flows by. You forget it. You don't listen to the lyrics.

~By Barry McGuire ~
I usually hang around the room listening to a bit of last night's show. If there's one available, I go to the steam room every day for my voice. I spend half an hour there and then I eat, because I can't eat later than four o'clock. Then I go for a soundcheck. That's my day.
~By Phil Collins ~

~By Kenneth Kaunda ~

~By Ninette de Valois ~

~By Robert Redford ~
I wish I had the voice of Homer to sing of rectal carcinoma.
~By John B. S. Haldane ~
I feel real ownership in this show. I feel very invested in it. I care very much about it. I don't feel any more like a hired hand, you know? It's a strange feeling - I feel personally responsible for how the story goes. What happens. What the weaknesses are. And so in a way, some of the changes gave me an opportunity to have a voice in a different way.
~By Lauren Graham ~

~By Paul Tillich ~

~By Jerry Harrison ~
Just because there are celebrities in a movie, it doesn't mean anything. I don't think The Ant Bully did all that well the first week at the box office.

~By Rob Paulsen ~
Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn't mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar.

~By Maurice Gibb ~
In the early years, I found a voice that was my voice and also partly my father's voice. But isn't that what you always do? Why do kids at 5 years old go into the closet and put their daddy's shoes on? Hey, my kids do it.
~By Bruce Springsteen ~
When Nike says, just do it, that's a message of empowerment. Why aren't the rest of us speaking to young people in a voice of inspiration?
